For anyone with questions regarding how to use this site I'll try to go over some main aspects.
I'd ask for this to get pinned for the next couple days but do we have anyone here with mod powers yet?
Anyways this will likely end up a jumbled mess because directions are sort of different depending on if you are on your phone vs computer, and I'm only ever on my phone. But I'll try to organize it.
When on a computer you can edit your avatar and siggy all in the profile tab. Just upload pictures or gifs saved to your computer or use *!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*! to upload and use their forum formatted coding. Use the website/email size when using tinypic or you will end up with giant siggy pictures. Haha.
I'm not well versed in the day to day usage and posting using a computer because I never go on mine. Sorry to not be much help there.
For my mobile gals. Aka just on your phone's Internet browser on proboards.com. You will have to scroll all the way to the bottom right and click the "desktop" button in order to edit your profile settings. Looks like this:
Once in desktop view, scroll back to the top and click profile>edit profile>click the personal tab and put stuff in the signature box. See above for what image format to use.
Use the desktop view to change your avatar as well.
Adding pictures and gifs is very simple. Just type [img*] image or gif url [/img*] minus the asterisks or you can upload using tinypic again and again use their forum format. Although I'm not sure gifs work on tinypic...hmmm
Now for all of you who plan to probe (*giggles* this is totes the new term to use instead of bump) mostly using your phones, I highly suggest you download the app Tapatalk. It's totally free and really simplifies the site. After downloading tapatalk, you will have to create a tapatalk account. Once finished search for our board "goodbyecb" by clicking the magnifying glass in the bottom middle.
Then click GBCB in the top middle, click birth boards, and May 15.
To create a new post click the icon in the top right (three lines) and select new topic.
When using the app you can simply click any reply and select like, which serves as the "love tits" of this forum. People actually receive notifications for likes here.
I'm sure adding pictures on the app is self explanatory, but it's the camera or "mountains and sun" icons once you click the "+" on the quick reply box at the bottom of each page.
When using the app notifications don't actually pop up or work. They did for a few weeks, but I think it had bugs so they are trying to fix it. In the mean time just open any thread and click the three dots. This menu will appear, click web view
This will temporarily switch your view back to the regular mobile browser view. Where you can then see a white number bubble on your profile tab. Click the actual white bubble, not the word profile, and you will go straight to notifications.
When you are ready to go back to app view just hit the "<"in the top left.
Okay, I hope this helps. Please feel free to ask any questions here in this thread and direct any others asking questions else where to this thread. I'm sure I've managed to leave out stuff and/or horribly confuse you all with my wording. Haha.

I'm sure it immensely helps save your phone battery life by not auto playing so to speak.
